Bernd Kuhls 283a7a15b2 package/privoxy: security bump version to 4.2.0
Fixes the following security issues:

- Parse the chunk-size with a dedicated function and reject "unreasonably"
  large values to prevent silent truncation by sscanf(), integer overflows
  and misinterpretation of the content later on. Heap buffer overflows on
  platforms with 32-bit pointers were alleged as well.
  Commit 5b3bb22b77. OVE-20260515-0002. Reported by @TristanInSec.

- ssl_send_certificate_error(): Store the generated message on the heap
  instead of the stack to prevent an alleged segmentation fault if there
  are enough certificates in the chain to exceed the stack size.
  While at it, replace another variable-length array that was probably
  unproblematic with a heap-based buffer as well.
  Commit 4963aa4f08. OVE-20260515-0001. Reported by @TristanInSec.
